Those of you playing Path of the Penguin and Thunderstruck should have seen some rock solid payouts over the weekend. Those two slots have paid out a combined $500,000 just over the weekend alone!
Cashville and Sneek a Peek Doctor Doctor were the weekend’s “losers” with some low payouts and very few big winners. Maybe that means it’s time to give those two a try?
A friendly reminder to all our readers that the world’s biggest online free slots tournament is taking place at All Jackpot Casino this month. Register free for your chance to win the $50,000 top prize!

The Jackpot Factory is gearing up for Halloween and has its biggest treat of the year: the mega-sized progressive jackpot game Mega Moolah is worth over €4 million*. This is the first time ever that the African safari themed video slot machine has passed this mark - and when it hits, it will be the biggest Microgaming progressive ever!

For those who don’t know, the game comes complete with an intriguing four-tiered jackpot. In addition, Mega Moolah offers several other features like a Wild Symbol, Free Spin Symbol, Multiplier Symbol, Scatter Symbol, and a randomly generated Bonus Feature.

I like to think that if there are players looking for thrills and excitement, then they are sure to find it at our casinos - especially on progressive games. The uniqueness of progressive jackpots are that they take a percentage of each wager made and put it towards the progressive jackpot, which grows - in this case €4 million - until it is won.

Currently, the figures for the four Mega Moolah jackpots are:

• Mega - €4,004,646.95
• Major - €24,370.65
• Minor - €100.12
• Mini - €10.20

Oh, and in addition to Mega Moolah, all our casinos feature 20 other progressive games, whose combined total jackpot amount is over €6.5 million.

All it takes is one lucky spin and with Halloween on the horizon we’re hoping one of our players wins this very special treat soon. Good luck to all!

* - Progressive games are credit based and players have a chance to win the jackpot figure in the currency that they are playing in.

I’ll use this forum to introduce our players to a rather new member of The Jackpot Factory - Wild Jack Mobile Casino (WJMC). WJMC has launched in the UK almost two years ago, and has grown to become the UK’s most loved mobile casino. Since then, it has been gaining popularity for its easy-to-use and casino-like experience as mobile consumers become interested in using their mobile devices for more than just voice calls.WJMC’s story began when the Jackpot Factory has joined forces with Spin3 the world’s leader in mobile gaming technology. WJMC currently supports over 750 mobile devices and packs 11 favorite games to play, including the casino classics Roulette, BlackJack and Tomb Raider^TM. It’s also the first mobile casino to offer progressive jackpots, with Major Millions nearing the $500K Jackpot! Two of WJMC’s players have already enjoyed this action-packed casino - Colin B. and Darren M. have spun the wheels and turned the cards and won £20K EACH on Jacks or Better and Roulette!

Unfortunately, WJMC isn’t available in North America at the moment, but other players from around the world are welcome to join the and enjoy the thrill. To start playing Wild Jack Mobile Casino simply go to www.WJMC.com and enter your mobile number. UK players can also download the casino by texting ‘WJMC’ to 89895. Then follow the registration process (which includes a strict age verification process - no under 18 here!) - and within minutes you will begin playing the games. From that point on there is no need to visit a website - everything needed to be up and running can be done via a compatible mobile.

So go on and Make Your Play!

I generally use this forum to plug promotional activity because that sort of stuff is all over our websites but in this case I will make an exception. I’ve been reading on various forums that a lot of players would like to see more free multi player tournaments…Apparently our monthly Grapevine tournament isn’t enough to satisfy everyone!

That’s why I am making an exception here and promoting our newest MPV tournament: Win -O - Rama! The first round is completely free, (with buy-ins for the subsequent rounds) and it will take place every Sunday through Monday during October and November 2007 at All Jackpots Casino. Each tournament is limited to 2,000 participants only - so don’t miss out on the action! The top prize is $500 in bonus credits at the casino!

Good luck to everyone!

PS: Stay tuned for more Grapevine details. We’ve got another tournament coming at the end of the month…

What’s hot this week at Jackpot Factory?

The Osbourne’s are by far the most popular game this week at the Jackpot Factory but Franken Cash is giving all games a run for their money! It’s already paid out over $500,000 this week alone!

But Break da Bank is close on its heels with some large payouts too. During the weekend one lucky player made out with a $20,000 payout.

Stay tuned for more updates straight from the casino floor…

Grapevine III tournament was one of our most successful tournaments ever with over 1500 participants. Congratulations to Marco_West84 who took the top prize and made off with $1,500. Our second place winner was smwilhelm and our third place winner was kenishi.If you placed in the money or just had fun playing please post a comment here for our faithful readers. I had a fairly luck run myself, and ended up hitting the free spins feature 4 times!

We’re gearing up for another bloggers only event later this month so stay tuned to jfspokesman for details!

I am happy to report that we’re over 1000 players in the Grapevine tournament… Don’t get stressed over the number of people, it just makes it more exciting when you win the $1,500 top prize!

Currently Marco_West_84 is in first place with a total of 50,580! I’ve had a good run myself and sit in 53^rd place with a total of 22,875! But… I still have one round left to play. I didn’t want to finish all my playing time at once, tt was just too much excitement for me! I actually hit the free spins feature within a set of free spins! But my luck only could take me so far, I didn’t get one hit on the second set of spins.

If you’re in one of the top places and you’d like to share a tip or secret to success please feel free to leave a comment here. I am sure all our readers would love to hear about it.

Step right up folks and play against me… David Brickman in our weekly Spin with David tournament. The tournament opens tonight and will run until 12:00 PM GMT on Wednesday. You can enter for the great low price of $2! The top ten players will win $20 each and EVERY single player who manages to top my score will win $10 each plus the right to return to the blog and do a little trash talking!

I was reading this week about how the UK Gambling Commission announced that the numbers of people placing a bet through a mobile phone in the UK is on the rise. There was actually an interesting article about this on Online Casino News.com (http://www.onlinecasinonews.com/ocnv2_1/article/article.asp?id=14272).

Almost three per cent of adults stating that they had used their handset as a gambling tool at least once in the month before the survey. We too have seen a rise in our Wild Jack Mobile Casino offering. July was our strongest month ever in terms of total number of active players, which was a 20% increase from our second best month which was in May.

It’s certainly going to be interesting to see more and more online casino sites enter into the mobile gaming arena. At this point there is relatively little competition and the players in the market are nearly all early adapters. Forecasts for when mobile will go mainstream ranges from 2008, all the way through 2011. Some of the biggest obstacles in this market are technological compatibility and lack of awareness.

All said and done, industry insiders are keeping close tabs on mobile gaming to see how and when it flourishes like online casino’s did back in the late 90’s. And while I am not sure if mobile will be bigger than online, I am certain that with more and more new technologies, the Jackpot Factory will continue to provide an exciting casino atmosphere!

FYI: There ’s a $20,000 weekend slots tournament every weekend at All Jackpots where for just $20 a player stands a chance to win the top prize of $5,000! It’s a network tournament which means its open to all Microgaming casinos who have the multi player software.

I am proud to report that 4 out of the past 5 weeks an All Jackpots player has won the top $5,000 prize! Congratulation to Anthony C., Natalie B., Amandio L., and Bernadette S. who each won $5,000.

I’ll keep everyone posted with how All Jackpots players fair this weekend…good luck to everyone!
